Creating issues from requirements

If you work with issues in Helix ALM, you can create issues from requirements. The requirement information is copied to the issue so users working on it can review the requirement details.

1. Click Create Issue when you are viewing or editing a requirement.

The Add Issue dialog box opens. Requirement information is added to the following issue fields by default:

Summary—Includes the requirement number and summary.
Description—Includes the requirement summary.
File attachments mini tab on the Detail tab—Includes requirement file attachments.
Source Files tab—Includes requirement source control attachments.

Depending on the project configuration, additional information may be copied from the requirement. See Configuring item mapping rules.

2. Make any changes.

3. Click Add to save the issue and add it to the project.

You can also click Apply to save the issue and continue working on it. Click OK when you finish.

You may be prompted to link the issue with the requirement. Click Add Link to create a link or Do Not Link if you do not want to create a link. See Working with related items.

Depending on user options, the Add Issue dialog box may remain open after the issue is added. Click Cancel to close it. You can change the Add Multiple Issues user option to automatically close the dialog box after adding a new issue. See Setting add multiple items options.
